Nothing to do with Marxism
Joseph C. Harsch argues that the Soviet Union's total economic security contrasts with American individual choices. He asserts the USSR provides guaranteed employment and protection while stifling freedom, and warns that U S unions and industries push toward similar controls, risking wage and price meddling and factory ownership, with the American system still more productive despite some unemployment. He contends Marx's ideals misalign with the Soviet reality.
